Question 5: 11 pteA juice company gives prizes to anyone finding specially marked caps on its juice bottles. You and your friendsbuy 20 bottles of juice. You find that 4 of the bottles have winning caps. What are the odds in favor of winning aprize in the contest?O 5:1O 4:5O 4:1O 1:4

Respuesta :

The odds of winning will be (winning caps) : (number of non-winning bottles), then

[tex]4\colon16[/tex]

We must simplify it, if we divide both by 4 we get

[tex]\frac{4}{4}\colon\frac{16}{4}[/tex]

Then

[tex]1\colon4[/tex]

That's the odds in favor of winning the prize in the contest
